[QUOTE="username40, post: 729125, member: 22862"] Thanks for the reply, my wife keeps waiting for him to say [I]"I've been terrible, I'm so sorry and want a 2nd (really 102nd) chance, I will follow your rules, I'll focus on my mental health and listen to the doctors. I just want to be a family again, I want your love and respect". [/I]It's never going to happen, he's almost 17, and gets meaner and worse every year, refuses to see anything he does as wrong, refuses medication. He won't change absent hardcore mood stabilizers/anti-psychotics and intensive commitment to therapy, both of which will never happen with him. I actually have to move so I can kick him out at 18, in my state I have to keep him in the home until he's 21! No chance I can go another 4 years like this. I'm begging my wife will work with me to get him placed into a group home. She's afraid he'll get hurt, but these are all his decisions, I tell her I'm done with him, he's a lost cause, my focus is on my other two kids. THEY need to be protected. [/QUOTE]
